Re: Blown Motor
Hey man I blew my 200 e-rude in 09, had a website called www.boatpartstore.com rebuild my motor and it's ran great ever since! It only cost me 3700$ for a complete rebuild including all parts. if you can pull the powerhead yourself u can save a couple grand. They pay for shipping both ways and warranty their work as long as u own the boat. It's seriously worth checking out. I'm not affiliated with these guys at all, just really impressed with the product I got for my money.

BUT, WHY DON'T WE JUST TAKE THE SAFETY LABELS OFF OF EVERYTHING
AND LET THE PROBLEM SOLVE ITSELF?"

Re: Blown Motor
Thanks everyone for the information here. I am going to call Ron, look at the website and think about slapping a new Merc on. It's what we love to do so money can't stand in the way of catching a toad. Tightlines!
